Aubrey Huff told Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish that he has officially retired and has accepted a broadcasting job.

The 37-year-old sat out the 2013 season after he was unable to find a job after a disappointing 2012 season with the Giants. He finishes a 13-year career with a .278/.342/.464 line, 242 homers and 904 RBI in 1681 games for the Rays, Astros, Orioles, Tigers and Giants. Sat, Jan 4, 2014 03:30:00 PM

Andy McCullough of the Newark Star-Ledger was told that the Yankees have not reached out to Aubrey Huff.

The Yankees are looking far and wide for corner infielders, but their search hasn't included Huff, who batted just .192/.326/.282 in 52 games last season. For what it's worth, the 36-year-old said last week that he's "pretty much retired." Tue, Mar 12, 2013 12:56:00 PM

Huff, 36, was hoping to get an invitation to spring training from someone, but he's now content staying at home with his family. "I have no regrets," he said. "I love it. I’m having a great time with my wife and kids. I don’t even have an itch to pick up a baseball bat. I wondered if I’d feel that desire when everybody reported to spring training, but I didn’t." Huff's career, if it is indeed over, ended with a whimper, but he still would finish with a career .278/.342/.464 batting line and 242 home runs over 13 seasons. Thu, Mar 7, 2013 08:09:00 PM

"He wants to play,'' said Huff's attorney, Ed Hayes. "He's working out. It's not a matter of physical issues. Nor is it a matter of mental issues, which he's addressed." There was a rumor in late November that the Diamondbacks were talking to Huff, but that never went anywhere. The 36-year-old will likely have to settle for a minor league deal after batting just .192/.326/.282 in 52 games last season while dealing with a knee injury and an episode of panic attacks.

The 36-year-old will likely have to settle for a minor league deal after batting just .192/.326/.282 in 52 games last season while dealing with a knee injury and an episode of panic attacks.

The Giants surely didn't lose much sleep over this decision. Huff, who batted only .192/.326/.282 over 52 games for San Francisco this season, will receive a $2 million buyout instead and hit the free agent market.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said on KNBR 680 in San Francisco on Tuesday that Aubrey Huff will likely be on the team's roster for the NLDS.

Huff has been limited to just 45 games this season due to an anxiety condition and a nagging right knee injury, but Bochy believes he could be useful as a backup first baseman and left-handed bat off the bench. He may start a game this week to shake the rust.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Aubrey Huff (knee) will be activated from the disabled list when rosters expand Saturday.

Huff has been sidelined since the end of July after aggravating a right knee injury. The 35-year-old is scheduled to run the bases Tuesday, so he's headed in the right direction. The Giants will likely use him as a bench player and backup first baseman in September.

Aubrey Huff aggravated his right knee during Monday's loss to the Mets.

Huff hurt the knee while trying to leg out a possible double-play grounder in the sixth inning. He's scheduled to be checked out Tuesday, but it sounds like another trip to the disabled list could be in his future.

Aubrey Huff left Monday's game against the Mets in the sixth inning with an apparent leg injury.

Huff pulled up lame while trying to leg out a double-play ball. Mets second baseman Ronny Cedeno bobbled the ball, so the go-ahead run scored on the play. Matt Cain replaced Huff as a pinch-runner. If the injury requires an extended absence, one wonders if this could be his last appearance in a Giants' uniform.

Panik played the last two days after missing two games with a stiff back, but now he's on the bench again. Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that the infielder should be available off the bench, but he doesn't expect to start him for a few days. Ehire Adrianza will get another start at second base Sunday.

He then went to receive treatment afterwards as he continues his recovery from a degenerative condition in both hips. If he rebounds nicely from this, he could be cleared to begin mound work early next week. There is still no clear timetable for his return to the Giants, and likely no rotation spot available once he does make it back.

Giants placed RHP Tim Hudson on the disabled list with a right shoulder injury.

Hudson spent time on the DL earlier this season with a shoulder ailment, although both times it's looked like a phantom injury. There's no longer a spot in the rotation for the veteran following the acquisition of Mike Leake.
